Bought from (gosh, I never know how to refer to lj users) here, also etsy. I have to frame them and then actually put up all the framed art I have sitting on the floor. But I know exactly where I will put them. (Though I occasionally consider putting them in the office instead of […]
How bad is it that I totally want to steal this idea? They’re so much fun. I particularly like Haystacks, End of Summer, Morning Effect, with Horsies.
I’ve decided, this fall, to take an art(y) class. Something new. There are two classes which look interesting. I am undecided.
Introduction to woodworking
Pros:
wanted to take woodworking for a long time;
likely to be different people from the people who normally take art(y) classes;
has a second level class.
Cons:
two nights a week, three hours each time;
not sure what […]
I found my sketching pencils and my Conté crayons. Still missing most of my pastels, though.
I think I am going to make stained glass for some of my windows. I have a 1m square window in my bedroom, and a huge window in my living room, and I just need to figure out what kind […]
Chanukah gifts from last year, and birthday gifts from this year, and possibly Chanukah for next year as well, all tied up in art! Yay art! (Pieces being brought over Saturday and picked up Tuesday.) I need to start saving money to use for art. And doing art, too. But I feel so very incapable […]
I can see hours and hours of waste here.
Look: my first piece of art.

I have not been posting NaNoWriMo updates. Why? It is in fact not because I haven’t started: I have. It’s more the number of words I have written which is the problem. I suspect my average blog post might, in fact, be longer.
Is “I’m moving” a valid excuse? It had better be.
Finally: a photo of my fused “plate”. It’s got (another) great big hole in it, but I think I know how to make stuff where that won’t happen anymore. I’ve also decided which kiln to get — all I need to do is figure out who to get it from. There are three possibilities, I […]
Had the first slumping class today. I made a circle and covered it with pretty, pretty glass, and it’s being fused as we speak. Tomorrow we will slump them and talk about all the fun technical details which, because I am a geek and a science geek, I am looking forward to a great […]
This weekend I’m all set for the fusion course. I’m not so terribly excited about making a sushi dish — don’t eat sushi — but just knowing the techniques. Alas, we don’t get to use the kiln so much ourselves. I do intend to remedy that quite soon. I want a kiln. I really want […]
